What is work?
• “Work is present when the force exerted causes an object to have a
displacement in the same direction of the force”.
Three conditions
• There must be a force acting on the object
• The object has to move a certain distance called the displacement.
• There must be component of the force in the direction of the motion.
Identify if work is done on the following
scenario
The mathematical expression used to
determine the amount done on the object.
Work is calculated by:
W= Force x Displacement
W= (Fcosθ)d
Where
W- work
F- force parallel to the displacement
d- displacement
θ- the angle between the force and the displacement.
2Τ 2
• The SI unit for work is the N-m, or kg𝑚 𝑠 .
• This combination of unit has also been given
the name joule (J) in honor of James Prescott
Joule.
